The Tides: oceanfront, private beach + kayaks

Enjoy the Maine coast in any season from this stunning three-story home with panoramic ocean views, private steps to the water, and kayaks to explore the bay with. Watch the tides go in and out from just about anywhere in the house, including from 2 decks and 3 out of 4 bedrooms. We're 5 minutes from Wolfe's Neck & the LL Bean Paddle Center, 10 minutes from downtown Freeport & within 35 mins of Portland, Brunswick, Harpswell, & Bath. EV Level 2 charger on site. Let your Maine adventure begin!

The house
Perched on a bluff above the water on Freeport’s beautiful Flying Point peninsula, this stunning 3-story home offers dramatic views of Casco Bay — visible from nearly every room. You might even spot a bald eagle soaring over the bay. It's a birdwatcher's haven.

The unique layout of the home is great for families, with lots of hang out areas for everyone. It’s perfect for adult groups, as two of the three oceanfront rooms are king suites with gas fireplaces. It's also a magical location for anniversaries, honeymoons, and other special occasions.

The Yard
Private steps lead directly from the backyard to the water’s edge. At high tide, you can step right into the calm shallow waters for a dip. When the tide pulls back, your own private beach emerges on the flats. While it’s not a traditional sandy beach, the tidal flats are great for long walks, clamming, or discovery outings with curious kids. We have kayaks for exploring the bay, and beach chairs are stocked in the shed for lazy afternoons in the sun. Don't forget to pack your reef shoes!

When golden hour arrives, watch the pink skies from the Adirondack chairs, cook on the gas grill, and enjoy dinner on a large outdoor dining table on the lower deck overlooking the water (photos coming soon).

Come winter, we provide snowshoes for the trails at Wolfe's Neck state park, just 5ish minutes from the house. Downtown Freeport hosts a full calendar of holiday events, and the view from the house is magical when coated with a blanket of snow.


The Living Space
The interior spaces here are all geared toward bringing those outdoor views in. The heart of the house is a sunken living room, a beautiful space anchored by a gas fireplace, a large sectional, and a 50” Samsung Frame TV with soundbar, all framed by a picture window overlooking the water. It flows naturally into a well-appointed kitchen with a gas stove, espresso machine, and drip coffee maker, a lobster pot and oyster & clam knives (of course!), plus a charming dining nook with a view.

The kitchen leads into the stunning front room where you’ll enjoy amazing meals at a large dining table surrounded by windows offering a panoramic view of the bay. On the other side of the room is a sofa that's a go-to spot for coffee and a crossword puzzle or relaxing after a day of exploring Maine. The doors to the front room can be shut if you want a little me-time while the rest of the fam watches a movie in the living room.

There is also a 1/2 bath and queen bedroom on this floor.

Upstairs, a plush daybed nook surrounded by sea-view windows is the ideal reading (or napping) spot. We call it “The Nest,” and you'll understand why as soon as you climb in.

The slider next to the daybed opens up onto the upper deck. A generous outdoor sectional and gas fire table set the stage for the moonrise and an unforgettable evening under the stars.

The Bedrooms
Two oceanfront primary suites — one on the second floor, one on the third — each offer a king bed, gas fireplace, sitting area, and sweeping water views.

The second-floor king suite includes a gas fireplace with two club chairs, a desk, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The third floor features a king suite with a gas fireplace and a sitting area with a small sofa. There is also a bedroom with two twin beds on this floor. The two bedrooms on the third floor share a spacious bathroom with a soaking tub and shower.

The first-floor offers a bonus room with a queen bed to round the sleeping arrangements. While this room does not have a view, it’s perfect for those who prefer one-floor living.

All rooms have sound machines and window shades. Bathrooms on each of the upper two floors feature bidet toilet seats. The main floor bathroom offers a new washer & dryer for guest use.

The Location
Flying Point is one of Freeport’s most serene and scenic peninsulas. You’re minutes from Wolfe’s Neck State Park trails and the L.L. Bean Paddle Center, 10 minutes from downtown Freeport for grocery runs and outlet shopping, and within 35 minutes of Portland, Brunswick, Bath, and Harpswell.

This is Maine at its most magical — come experience it.


Guest access
You will have the whole home to yourself and have access to the whole home except for the owners closet in the master bedroom.


ADDITIONAL NOTES:

This is a 3-story home, and even the first floor has a step or two up to the bedroom the kitchen, the dining room, and bathroom. This may not be a good spot for people with mobility issues or where risk of missing a step and falling may be an issue.

We are not childproof and we are stituated on a bluff, so toddlers should be supervised.

We have neighbors next door on both sides, so we do have quiet hours starting at 9pm and ask you to be mindful. We do not allow parties (nor does Airbnb).

By booking, you agree that the use of kayaks, swimming, or other ocean activities are at your own risk.
